Sony-Electronics and Phillips will be coming out with DVD-burning drives that accept blank DVDs with two data layers that have the ability to store up to 8.5 gigabytes of data (or about 4 hours of movies with DVD quality images). This enhanced storage is almost double the capacity of DVD-burning software out on the market today. With the enhanced storage capacity on the dual-layer discs, people will not have to worry about leaving out the special features just to ensure they burn the full movie. People will also be relieved to find that both layers of the disc will be accessible from the same side, so there will be no need to flip the disk to access the end of the movie, or the special features.
